Motorcycle Accidents in Albuquerque

Riding a motorcycle is a great pastime enjoyed by many New Mexico residents. However, riders are at increased risk of suffering serious injuries in the event of a crash. According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, nearly 80% of motorcycle crashes result in death or injury, and motorcyclists are roughly 27 times more likely to be killed in a motor vehicle collision. 

Every day, a motorcyclist is injured or killed in New Mexico, and motorcycle fatalities have been on the rise across the country, despite an overall drop in other types of car accidents. Not only are riders more likely to be seriously injured, but most drivers also fail to look out for motorcyclists like they should, resulting in catastrophic motorcycle accidents across the state of New Mexico. In fact, despite what some people may think, most New Mexico motorcycle accidents are caused by the actions of reckless drivers who are not fulfilling their duty to share the road safely with motorcyclists.
